    not that i know of.  uninstall flash from the machines and then set a group policy that doesn't allow non-admins to install anything.  This could block other programs form updating though.  

    If you are thinking about the recent flash 0-day chrome was not vulnerable because they keep flash sandboxed and automatically updated faster than adobe updates their own stand-alone code..[:)]

    Actually, Chrome is also vulnerable, but up to now the code isn't executed if the exploit kit detects Chrome.
    I've set IE Flash Plugin to disabled and Chrome plugins to "click-to-play" via GPO.
    On our Firefox installs Flash isn't installed anyway.

    Chrome maybe vulnerable but the sandbox blocks it from doing anything so the code doesn't execute..so effectively it isn't.
